about

This Album is from the 6CD boxed set “Fantail Vision”, released on Slowdown Records in 2022. The box consists of six new albums recorded between 2020 and 2022.
“mukotronics" is positioned as Disc 3 of the box set, and contains three tracks recorded between April and July 2020. The similarly titled "mukogenerator" and "mukomodulator" were recorded in November 2020 and July 2020, respectively, so the chronological order is "mukotronics" followed by "mukomodulator" and then "mukogenerator.
The tracks for this album is available digitally on Merzbow's Soundcloud, and this is the original version of that work. This is a higher quality, as the Soundcloud distribution was a compressed version for audition purposes only.
The first track, "Mukotronics 1," which uses many drone-like sounds to create the sound of an undulating river, and the third track, "Mukotronics 2," which uses heavily modulated electronic sounds to make it sound like a mollusk, both have a strong presence of boomy electronic sounds and share a commonality. On the other hand, the second track "Surge Vol. 1," sandstorm-like sounds fill the space, and coarse sounds are used to great effect. You will be able to savor the textural differences and undulations throughout the album.

Easily one of my favourite Merzbow records and one of my favourite noise records in general. Expertly crafted and blisteringly hot sonically, it's definitely not one to miss. Audrey Cusack

CATalysis 4 into Hat 1046 is one of the most blissful noise experiences I've had in quite some time. Transcendent. Brilliant. Nice Finnegan the Fox samples on Haf 1046 (to my ears). Cute cats on the cover. Chef's kiss 100% andrewmeow
